Greetings List,
I have just emerged cyrus-sasl as part of configuring a mail server,
following the instructions found at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml
I created the file /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf as described in the docs and
then executed /etc/init.d/saslauthd start with the following result:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
* Starting saslauthd...
/usr/sbin/saslauthd: invalid option -- H
usage: saslauthd [options]
option information:
-a <authmech> Selects the authentication mechanism to use.
-c Enable credential caching.
-d Debugging (don't detach from tty, implies -V)
-O <option> Optional argument to pass to the authentication
mechanism.
-l Disable accept() locking. Increases performance, but
may not be compatible with some operating systems.
-m <path> Alternate path for the saslauthd working directory,
must be absolute.
-n <procs> Number of worker processes to create.
-s <kilobytes> Size of the credential cache (in kilobytes)
-t <seconds> Timeout for items in the credential cache (in seconds)
-v Display version information and available mechs
-V Enable verbose logging
authentication mechanisms and exit.
-h Dispaly this message.

I had a quick look through /etc/init.d/saslauthd and couldn't spot the
offending command line switch there, but what I did spot was
-- ${SASLD_OPTS}
Which interestingly enough doesn't appear to pull it's options from
anywhere, as there are no references in the start/stop script to open any
SASL config files.
Has anyone had a similar result when installing SASL, and if so what did you
do to work around it?
Your comments / suggestions are hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
>From Mitchell
